If you live in a dry climate like I do, you may have the problem of your Wilton gel Icing Colors drying out after they have been open for a while. Whatever you do, DO NOT throw them away! They can be saved. All you need is a bottle of Wilton Glycerin .

To bring icing color back to its original consistency, I remove all of the foil from the top of your coloring (if it is one with foil). Then I stick it in the microwave for a few seconds. Each microwave is different, however it usually does only take about 5-8 seconds. Remove from the microwave and add a few drops of glycerin to the color and stir. Your color should be good as new!
